Fan Mail
Hi Penny and Amy, I'm Mary Keating, the author of "Recalibrating Gravity" a memoir in verse. I listened to your podcast about how to sell on Reddit, a platform new to me. I set up an account and posted my first AMA within minutes of listening. This picture shows the AMA's statistics just after the 3 hour window closed. It was the 7th top post today. Not bad. Who knows if this will translate into sales, but it's getting my name out there on a different platform. I also found some great poetry sites.
